Country.
The Representative Committee OF One
Hundred met at Grand Army Hall last

ing, was discussed. Citizens Association
No. $ submitted report setting forth that
insufficient safeguards are placed around
the youth OF both sexes to save them from
falling into the snares Of pool-rooms, gamb-
ling houses, saloons and other places OF
Vice. The police force was commended, and

Northeast Washington was recommended,
and the number OF Police Courts Is asked to
be increased TO three.
Mr.. Noble ID. Laruer Of the COMMITTEES

their wires underground.
The Committee on the Water Supply re-
ported that the Commissioners had violated
the law In Increasing the water rates The
committee deemed IL advisable that an In
yCstigation be made OF the Water Depart
ment, but believed It would be out OF place
to recommend change OF officers.
"A resolution recommending the establish
ment OF two engine companies in East
Washington was adopted. II was also rec
commended that ten policemen be detailed
for duty In the county.
Mr.. Singleton introduced a resolution
calling for the appointment OF committee
to consider the advisabili.y OF preparing an
address to the citizens OF the whole country,
showing the condition OF the people OF the
District. He said that he had recently spent
considerable lime IN travelling about the
country, ard he was surprised at the dense
Ignorance OF people OF all classes, both
North and West, concerning the municipal
affairs Of the District
The resolution was then adopted, and Mr..
Feudall announced as the committee Messrs.
Singleton, G. u. Church, John l.. Herrell,

A PrinceIy Dend-Iseat

These are bits Of gossip picked up by
"Gath" In London for the Cincinnati En-
Qdre: Among the stories passing around
London, true or false, no one cares which,
is one that q woman enjoying remarkable
wealth, who comes from America, found
that the Prince OF Wales was deeply In
debt, and, as he had more than once come
before Parliament and run the gauntlet OF an
appropriation, he did not care to do SO every
day. This lady invited him to party. At
the news Of his coming everybody else
wanted to come. She paid the debts, &c.
cording to the statement, and he was very po-
lite and genteel, but he never came any more.
30 the people about one Of the Actors
Clubs had suggestion made that II would
be good business thing for them to have
The Prince Of Wales come to their annual
dinner. 1t was suggested that the quickest
way to fetch the Prince was to make him u
life member and send nice little contrlbu-
tion with the certificate. So they sweated
and raked few hundred pounds. The
Prince came, dlned with them, and never
came any more. They got just what they
bargained for 10 both cases. They pur-
chased recognition, but could not purchase
acquaintanceship.

Lines on n Lady's skull.

A young lady Of Ell Paso, Tex, has had
the skull of woman mounted and polished,
and asks her friends to write autographs on
1t. One Of them has written
Where is the patter?
Where 10 the clatter
Where the gray matterp
The vltalized spark?
Science erratic,
Religion dogmatic,
Are both quite emphatic
And both In the dark.
Another asks:
Empty scabbard, where's thy sword ?
And below this another replies:
1t has scared.
An oarsman has written upon II:
have weakness for sculls.
And cynic declares:
"I'll wager there Is more on the outside OF
your head than ever there was in the In
siden
Lastly woman hater has inscribed on 1t
the sentiment:
A chstter.box minus the chatter.
